ES1021QI Datasheet
The Altera Enpirion ES1021QI is an integrated 4-channel
controlled-on/controlled-off power-supply sequencer
with supply monitoring, fault protection and a “sequence
completed” signal (RESET). ES1021QI uses a patented,
micropower 7x charge pump to drive four external low-
cost NFET switch gates above the supply rail by 5.3V.
These ICs can be biased from 5V down to 1.5V by any
supply.
ES1021QI has two groups of two channels, each with its
independent I/O. It is ideal for voltage sequencing into
redundant capability loads. All four inputs must be
satisfied before turn-on, but a single group fault is
ignored by the other group.
External resistors provide flexible voltage threshold
programming of monitored rail voltages. Delay and
sequencing are provided by external capacitors for
ramp-up and ramp-down.
Additional I/O is provided for indicating and driving
the RESET state in various configurations.
For volume applications, other programmable options
and features are available.
